DETROIT, MI- The Detroit Tigers Clubhouse staff packed up the Tigers’ equipment into two 53-foot trucks Wednesday to ship to spring training in Lakeland, Fla for spring training.

Multiple pallets were labeled with a bat count: “pallet #8. 210 bats.” Lastly, the box labeled, “To Florida. Pass Out Lockers. Major League,” will make its way from Comerica Park to the sunshine state with the rest of the equipment for spring training.

The first truck alone will weigh between 23-24 thousand pounds, according to Frisbie Moving employee Bob McDonald, whose been packing the Tigers’ spring training gear for the past 14 years.

The 2013 spring training season will be the Detroit Tigers’ 77th season at TigerTown in Lakeland and the 48th consecutive season at the Joker Merchant Stadium.

The Tigers Grapefruit League begins Feb. 22 against the Atlanta Braves at Champion Stadium in the ESPN Wide World of Sports, Kissimmee, Fla. The official spring training home opener is on the following day, Saturday Feb. 23rd against the Toronto Blue Jays.
